The 90.6% trader consensus against U.S. recognition of Somaliland before 2027 reflects the Trump administration’s consistent adherence to the longstanding “One Somalia” policy prioritizing Mogadishu’s territorial integrity. Despite Somaliland’s offers of exclusive mineral access and military basing rights, plus congressional legislation authorizing recognition and Israel’s December 2025 precedent, President Trump has publicly distanced the U.S. from the move and the State Department has reaffirmed no policy change. A June 2026 departmental report on engagement options drew criticism from advocates for lacking new substance. Counterterrorism cooperation concerns with Somalia and regional diplomatic pushback continue to outweigh strategic incentives in the short window remaining.
